        An endearing tribute to the fans of 60s American media, the story mainly serves as an excuse for stars of those years to take a bow once again on a large stage. Things are kept lighthearted while small nods are made that acknowledge that the world has changed a bit since the 60s. Cheesy perhaps, but like a greasy pizza after a day at the beach, not as bad as you might think. This one's for fans only anyway.
